LNFG!

Perfect maple weather last night... Cold, then recovering for a sunny mild afternoon. My sis lives on 40 acres up in Winchendon and says the sap's flowin' Buckets are drippin good flow rates. Despite the impression of still biology out there, life is showing signs.

Ya the AI went to crap..might be the end for some.

Yeah going to definitely get cold again.

I checked the climate summary, and it looks like it was very cold leading up to the March 1888 snowstorm: 1888-03-01 40 28 34.0 -4.8 31 0 0.00 0.0 M 1888-03-02 33 27 30.0 -9.0 35 0 0.00 0.0 M 1888-03-03 37 15 26.0 -13.2 39 0 0.05 0.0 M 1888-03-04 24 12 18.0 -21.5 47 0 0.00 0.0 M 1888-03-05 22 12 17.0 -22.7 48 0 0.01 0.3 M 1888-03-06 23 10 16.5 -23.5 48 0 0.00 0.0 M 1888-03-07 30 17 23.5 -16.7 41 0 0.00 0.0 M 1888-03-08 31 21 26.0 -14.5 39 0 0.00 0.0 M 1888-03-09 40 23 31.5 -9.2 33 0 0.00 0.0 M 1888-03-10 45 27 36.0 -5.0 29 0 0.00 0.0 M 1888-03-11 42 33 37.5 -3.7 27 0 0.65 0.0 M 1888-03-12 33 8 20.5 -21.0 44 0 1.45 16.5 10 1888-03-13 12 6 9.0 -32.8 56 0 0.00 3.0 M

We will get today in with full cover but that should do it. What a run though. Solid cover 12/26-1/14 and 1/18 to 3/9 here in death valley and I think there were at least a few days earlier in December. 6 inches or greater depth 1/26-3/8. As far as I am concerned that's close enough to wire to wire down here in the tropics.

hoping for a nice soak and good luck to those south of i80 getting the goods

Yeah we’re BKN up here and I’m trying not to have an early conniption.

v cool^

There are exceptions to that reasoning, the most extreme one that came to mind was the blizzard of 1888. It was unseasonably mild and raining just before that event.

Likely first MEH of the year for us. Woooooooo storms!

There were a handful of storms that were really brutal and that was one of them. A good friend of mine in Manchester was buried under 20 inches and didn't believe that the roads were wet with some slush on the grass. Pretty sure my old stomping grounds in Bristol had a foot. It wasn't that far east of us amounts sky rocketed. We did have some accumulating snow mostly on grassy surfaces the overnight prior but much of that melted during the day. It was strictly a downsloping issue for us and I don't know what was going on in poor Rhode Island. Lower elevations east and to some extent west were destroyed. It be cool someday to experience a storm like that.

No clouds in southern half of sky ensures the sun’s path will yield unobstructed sunshine today.

SPC opens Day 3 severe bidding with SLGT risk i81 corridor west and MRGL for the rest of us

Fastest pack wipe incoming, since I’ve been here. What a stretch to prep for spring.

Some can’t handle it

I mean just hug the 12k while completely glossing over the 3k

Not saying winter is over. We still have another window. However add another myth debunked to the list: Debunked: We no longer see benchmark storm tracks. Added to the following Debunked myths: Western pacific ocean temps mean constant MJO 456 phases. NAO always connecting to the SE ridge. Ocean temps mean the SE ridge is unstoppable. Fast flow is now unstoppable. Clippers are extinct.

2nd severe threat of the very young season already:

Man now that the warm season is here for 20+ months since next winter will torch, what will everyone do?

Tomorrow will be especially NoP

Tomorrow

That's not what I said so don't "yup" me... haha. I said the NAM may not be right about the magnitude. I also said the NAM could be wrong about the absolute wind direction - if it's more 240 than indirect cooling is likelier confined to SE zones. The NAM is right to cool the air mass that passes over the Bite water region NE of Jersey, in general

First sunny morning since the cold spell ended in Mid February. Reminds me of California. Cloudy everyday until around 11.

I admit that yesterday was exceptionally nice to be outdoors. And it was obvious judging by the throngs of people on local trails that many, many people were feeling the same way. Having said that, I'm sorry but I found nothing brutal about this winter. I enjoyed every single bitterly cold day we had and I won't apologize for it.
